how to graft their trees, There is no

LEPFRS MAGIC STREAM.
Hundreds of Them Bathe Daily in the
River at KusatsI,
Chicago Inter-Ocean

g.
The waters of Kusatsu, in Toxic,
Japan, are by no means of one kind alone.
The principal baths are strongly impreg-
mated with sulphur, but in addition there
are magnesia and alum baths, with hardly
q trace of any other substance. In the
center CT the village there is q wide
plaza, through which this stream, almost
a creek of hot water, rQsnes. Above the
bed of the stream pass wooden pipes in
| which is waters are detected to bath
houses at the sides, while still other
pip-s bring down the alum and magnesia
waters to different lighthouses, the prinSI
ciDal stream being the famous sulphur
water. Above all cloud OF steam is
constantly rising. while the open bath
houses are filed at ali times with bathers,
many Of whom appear in puris natural
ibus.
1t seems paradOXical, Gnd yet it is q fact
that under these circumstances nakedness
leaves on the mind no impression of i'm
modesty, or even Of improperly. The
suffering b re is too real to leave room
for any hir 2 but pity. Below the village
plaza are the largest baths of all. Here
those suffering from the most advanced
forms of blood dissase-iucluding lepro-I
sv-take their baths ii accordance with
fixed system.
Five times g day a horn i8soundedi
throughout the village. The poor crea-
lures hcb5le ia from all directions ana
take their places in rows along the sides
of the bathing tanks. The sight is any
thing but cheerful one, and once seen
can never be forgotten. Al given signal
from the bathing master the bathers step
into the water. At another they plunge |
beneath the water with cry in unison |
answering TO his word of command. Then |
up they come again, repeating the opera |
ton several hundred times.
This system has been adopted to in
sure regularity and q complete course of |
the waters. The effect of the water
shows itself after few days in painful
sores, which must be kept constantly |
bandaged in raw cotton. No doubt the |
weak hearted would soon give out unless
they were forced to comply with regu
lar regimen. As it is, you can see that
the effect in many cases Is most painful
one. Occasionally some poor creature is
unable to restrain himself, and as the
sulphuric acid bites into the raw flesh he
bursts out into an involuntary yell quite
out of harmony with the usual monoton-
Gus chorus.
The curative properties Of the waters
are most wonderful, and j thorough |
course effects cures in cases which other
wise would De hopeless.

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Jan. 2S.-This is q

Frank behind as security for board bill
McIIsle is an Englishman, short, deaf and
wears glasses. He has been all over the
country, and came to the hospital here
for treatment, afterward working as s
compositor in the Argus office. On De-
GENDER % Robert Schirer and Belle Ben
nett were married, she then going to
work waiting on table in boarding
house.
After McHale's spouse let him he went
to board at the house where this second
bride was working, and thought that the
Girl who waited on him was his wife, but
was not positive about it; the two resem-
bled each other so remarkably. The girl
would not recognize him, however, but
when ne discovered that she had a gold
watch exactly like the one MS wife had he
was no longer in doubs, and has now
made up his mind to sue for a divorce.

The Drouth Relief Committee Not Giving
What Is Most Needed
Special to the Gazette.
| CISCO, TEX, Feb. 1.-THE drouth re-
lief committee have visited Lampasas,
Brown, Coleman, Runnels ana Callahan
counties, and are now bout the center of
the administration district A rough
estimate OF the number Of persons entitled
To relief under the law places the figures
at from 20, 200 TO 10000. The class need
ing assistance most consists OF farmers
VINO have scent all Of their means in the
purchase and Improvement of their farms
The grain crop proving total failure
last year they are without Dread or the
means to procure it. If they can get pro-
VISIONS for their families and seed to plant
they Will try to make another crop; other
wise many OF them will not. The men
say they can not plOw while their children
cry for bread. Without questioning the
policy OF the act or it's cOnstitutionality
the legislature has done generous thing
IN making this appropriation. There is.
undoubtedly, grand future TO this coun-
try west of here, but unless help is ex-
tended Just now large per cent. of the
people will leave, and the settlement and
development of this section of our
state will be delayed many years.
The situation simply stated is: That
these people cannot make crop without
help. The liberal private donations here.
tOfore made have been exhausted, and il
Is now too late to rely entirely on indI-
vidual efforts for relief. The Legislature
committed an error in not making Gan
appropriation for seed for planting pur-
poses" A large per cent of the people
want seed. The state could YET, by acting
at once, render this indispensable aid
with scarcely any detriment to the public
treasury. The money might be advanced
to the people as loan, taking their lrdi-
vidual obligations to refund it SIS soon as
their ability will permit. Most of the
money could and would be refunded this
fall.
But little actual suffering has existed
so far, but cases of extreme restitution
may be found in nearly every neighbor-
hood, the details of which, if recited,
would readily excite sympathy for the
needy as we'll as admiration for their
heroic struggles to battle successfully
against adversely without asking aid.
IL is thought by many who are opposed
to the relief bill that it is setting Dad
precedent. Moreover it is said that the
agitation Of the question and the unisyor-
able advertisement it Will give the drouth
section will do more injury than the ap-
preparation will do good. 1t is doubtful
if either of these objections is good.
At all events, the condition of this sec
ton of the state has already been pub
lished to the world. Good policy would,
therefore, dictate that these unfortu-
nate people should be aided and encouy-
aged to remain and fight the battle out "a,
the hope of eventually saving their homes
and OF becoming useful and prosperous
citizens of the state. ~

HARD On CATTLE.
The Northwest Ranges Covered with enow,
and Cattle Dying.

BISMARCK, d. T., Feb. 10.-Reports
are coming in daily from the ranges near
Blunt of loss of cattle, owing to the
scarcity of feed and insufficient pro-
lection from the severe winter weather.
There has been snow on the around since
the middle of November and 1t has been
necessary to feed during that time, con-
sequently feed is getting scarce. Ali
the straw piles one, two or three
years old have been bought up By cattle
men, and 81 per load is readily paid
where it can be found on the groundl for
wheat straw. The losses already reach
from to 20 per cent. Where sufficient
hay and shelter have been provided, the
loss is quite Insignificant. Stockmen
heretofore have been compelled to feed
out little hay during the winter, stock
generally rustlipg for themselves, but the
unprecedented fall of snow
this winter, and the length
of time it has lain on the ground puts q
new phase on the matter Of stock grow
ing, but hereafter there will be more pro-
vision made for such an emergency. The
cattle loss near Fort Assinaboine is esti-
mated at 10 per cent. Sixty dollars is
refused for ton of coal, and green will
low poles are selling at sl4 load. Flour
and oil are also scarce.
